NORTH HILLS 2016 MID YEAR UPDATE
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Wow, what a year for North Hills! A new office tower opened adding numerous companies and workers, excited visitors gather daily at The Capital Grille for their newest fine dining experience, local favorite Quail Ridge Books is near opening, and nationally loved Lilly Pulitzer announced opening its first store in Raleigh. And as the construction cranes continue the next phase of buildings, the benefits of an urban district like North Hills are so apparent. Office workers, residents and hotel guests have easy access to everything they need and want. North Hills is a place constantly alive with activity where up and coming millennials live, eat, shop, work and play alongside baby boomers of another generation.
So far in 2016, North Hills is experiencing tremendous energy and momentum: • Popular national retailer Paper Source opened joining Anthropologie, Vineyard Vines, Peter Millar and Lululemon Athletica. • SunTrust Bank announced a lease signing to join Allscripts in their new office home, Midtown Plaza, a 330,000 square foot 12-story building opening in 2017. • The completion and opening of the 18-story Bank of America Tower bringing 300,000 square-feet of additional office space next door to the 100% full 17-story CAPTRUST Tower’s 300,000 square feet. • The imminent opening of The Dartmouth, North Hills’ newest urban-styled apartment community adds a terrific design look to the area.
• North Hills’ first high-rise residential project, Park Central, is taking shape with construction fullyunderway adding more retail along the Midtown Park located under the 16-story residential tower expected to open in mid-2017. • The addition of art to Midtown – the Art Box on Six Forks near the recently opened Thomas Sayre designed Overlook. North Hills is urban planning that’s focused on anticipating instead of reacting. Positioning ourselves to accommodate the needs of today – and adapt to those of tomorrow. Over the next decade, we plan to add more of everything that makes North Hills so special, filling a void for residents and visitors, young and old, who are looking for the 24/7, walkable environment with active streets, outdoor dining, late night fun and a multitude of events.
Midway through 2016, our outlook for North Hills appears very strong. There continues to be exciting new retail and restaurant openings, new companies relocating, new residents arriving, (and a few more construction cranes)... simply put – just more things to do. Whether it’s called the heart of Midtown Raleigh, the City Within a City, or Raleigh’s second CBD – North Hills is truly the place with non-stop vibrancy. Regardless of the moniker, North Hills is a community authentically embraced by its neighbors, residents, workers, and guests as the place to be.
• The Cardinal at North Hills (Continuing Care Retirement Community) is nearing completion with opening anticipated by year end. • The topping out of Marriott’s new and exciting upscale brand, AC Hotel, which is expected to add 135 hotel rooms at the beginning of 2017. Mike Smith President

BANK OF AMERICA TOWER OPEN HOUSE EVENT “We try to get everyone in the same location because one of the things we find out is, in a city like this, we have 600 teammates, and the more of them you have together, the more energy you can get out of that group. … We put a big emphasis … on driving the business between the businesses, and so by having people physically located next to each other, it just makes it happen.”
On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, Bank of America brought together their team, neighbors, clients, and local leaders to celebrate their relocation and investment in the Triangle. The Bank of America Tower consolidates several of Bank of America’s divisions (Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, and U.S. Trust), which had been spread across multiple offices in downtown Raleigh, and enables Bank of America to “deliver one company.” Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, attended the event with his executive team, and discussed plans to increase Bank of America’s future investment in the region.

A unique new public art display to showcase a rotation of original works by regional artists in an urban setting, The Art Box at North Hills is a collaboration between North Hills and the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA). The collaboration will feature regional and NC art and share information about NCMA exhibitions and program opportunities with the community. The Art Box is open on the ground level of the Bank of America Tower, at the corner of Six Forks and Dartmouth Roads.
North Hills’ newest amenity is now open for fourlegged guests - the North Hills Dog Park. The fenced-in dog park is 9,500 square feet and located on St. Albans Drive across from The Dartmouth and Park & Market North Hills Apartments. Complete with waste stations and water bowls, the dog park is open for public use.

EYECENTENNIALS
The Overlook at North Hills, designed by renowned artist Thomas Sayre, opened for pedestrians in March. The Overlook is a sculptural gateway that links North Hills’ Main and Park Districts with a grand stair, meticulous landscaping, and multiple levels for gathering.
The current installation will last 12 months and will feature Raleigh artist, Nate Sheaffer’s EyeCentennials, an ambitious project using recycled street lamp lenses backlighted with neon and argon tubing, creating unique sconces using over 130 different colors. Each piece is given new life as a considered object after a lifetime hanging overhead, largely unnoticed witnessing countless private moments and street scenes. Sheaffer mounted 60 EyeCentennials in 12 columns of 5, each column controlled by autofaders – all out of sync – fill the Art Box at North Hills with rolling waves of light, providing an ever changing wall of color at all times of day and night.
